From mechanistic approaches for cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome to ovarian cancer research, and a glimpse into promising chemotherapy-free treatments, Chapter 1 sets the stage. Chapter 2 explores immuno-oncology, emphasising the significance of robust T cells, the potential of cytokines IL-12 and IL-18, and the innovative use of CAR T-cell methods against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Shifting focus to cancer vaccines in Chapter 3, we look at the power of ‘rational vaccinology,’ showcasing a modified tuberculosis vaccine with potential applications in bladder cancer treatment. Join us as we navigate the forefront of cancer research, offering first hand insights into transformative breakthroughs.
